That should not be the case. Juba International Airport is truely international. Being the main hub in South Sudan, it is now the major route into the country. Juba is now receiving flights directly from Dubai, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Entebbe and as far South as South Africa.
The expansion is not for the runway, for it is large enough to land jumbo 747. It had been initially expanded by the French Company CCI in early eighties. They have to abandon the completion because of the war. I believe it is time they return to complete the job.
I am talking about the lounge. The arrival and departures are horridly small. There are not not enough room in there. They need to build a new terminal with modern equipments and proper luggage handling services. For the new face of South Sudan, the airport must too reflect the new emergence of the country.

New airport or more weapons? I personally choose more weapons.
South Sudan have suffered enough of war for the last forty years, anon. Unless you have lived in South Sudan, you never know what it is like.
Give us a chance to live like humans. There are threats to peace, but more weapons will not deter it but make it worse!
Thanks for sharing that input about Juba. Is Kenya Airways the only airline operatings flights from Johannesburg to Juba ?
It's ovious you are a foreigner black Kush don't hide behind a false southern identity.
You can say whatever you like, Anon, but that can't make me less a South Sudanese. I know who I am, and that is enough for me.
